August 2011, #163 came home with me with just over 60K on the odometer, bone stock besides tint and red painted calipers.

At 77K (right after going stage 1), the VF40 showed signs of failure were imminent with bearing noise and it was replaced under warranty.

Stage 2 hardware was installed at 80K - Finished up the Infamous e-tune at 82.5K. Pulls well and smooth power delivery. Of course now I'm hungry for more!

Installed the PW TMIC and doing a tune with Cryotune Performance for Stage 2 + PW at 86.5K. Updated the engine bay at the same time for a different theme overall.

87K - Cryotune Stage2+ is complete. Really pleased with the tune's drivability and performance! Will be working with him for the "next stage"!

For the 90K service, installed Gates blue racing kevlar accessory belts and tensioner pulley, OEM NGK plugs, Extra-S/LW Shockproof for tranny/diff, oil change with good old Rotella T6 5W-40 and a new engine under cover as well as a Grimmspeed LWCP.

At 93K installed Stoptech slotted rotors, street performance pads, and SS lines with ATE Super Blue fluid. BBK is overkill for my DD at this point and this stage of a brake upgrade really fit the bill.

Clutch upgraded at 96K. ClutchMasters FX350, OEM SMFW, TSK3, along with Group N Transmission Mount and Crossmember Bushings completed the upgrade. Break in is complete and this is an amazing setup! OEM pedal feel with great holding capabilities and super smooth shifts. Engagement is about 1/4 of the stroke off the floor and totally predictable. Doing the trans mount and crossmember bushings was the right choice - much less drivetrain slop during shifts and the SMFW paired with my Grimmspeed LWCP makes rev matching a breeze.

124K Installed replacement Exedy Stage 1 organic clutch, modified TSK3 for new TOB, and loving it compared to the CM FX350! Also refreshed trans and diff with fresh Extra-S, and a new CV boot on the passenger front axle.
